By Nick Lavars June 21, 2020 As a disease without a cure or means of prevention, there is a lot we don’t know about Parkinson’s and the way it takes hold in the human body. One school of thought is that it actually begins in the gut, and a new study has strengthened these ties...
By Dr. Liji Thomas, MD The current COVID-19 pandemic demonstrates the vast unknown of virology, which continues to challenge the ability of humanity to remain healthy when faced with pathogens. While most known microbes have restricted affinity for specific species, continuing to adapt with the host species, the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2)...
by Brigham Young University The COVID-19 pandemic has posed a serious issue for doctors and nurses assessing a patient’s heart and lungs with a traditional stethoscope. Many healthcare practitioners have found it difficult to position the stethoscope correctly around their face masks. These assessments also require practitioners to be very close to the patient, heightening...
Hematopoietic stem cells, that form mature blood cells, require a very precise amount of protein to function — and defective regulation of protein production is common in certain types of aggressive human blood cancers. Now, a research team at Lund University in Sweden has uncovered a completely new mechanism that controls how proteins are produced...
